What is the result of this operation?

$\frac{2}{9}-\frac{2}{9}=?$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{4}{9}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Since the denominators are the same, we can just subtract the numerators.

$\frac{2}{9}-\frac{2}{9}=\frac{0}{9}$

The result can just be reduced to

$\frac{6}{6}-\frac{3}{6}=?$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{5}$

$\frac{9}{6}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

Since the denominators are the same, we can just subtract the numerators.

$\frac{6}{6}-\frac{3}{6}=\frac{3}{6}$

which we can reduce to

$\frac{1}{2}$

Example Question #9 : How To Subtract Fractions

What is the result of this operation?

$\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{3}=?$

Possible Answers:

$-\frac{1}{6}$

$\frac{1}{6}$

$\frac{1}{12}$

$\frac{1}{3}$

$-\frac{1}{3}$

Correct answer:

$-\frac{1}{6}$

Explanation:

Since the denominators are different, we need to transform them into the same denominator.

$\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{3}=?$

becomes

$\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1*2}{3*2}=?$

$\frac{1}{6}-\frac{2}{6}=?$

Now subtract the numerators

$\frac{1}{6}-\frac{2}{6}=\frac{-1}{6}$

Possible Answers:

$-\frac{2}{7}$

$\frac{1}{7}$

$-\frac{1}{7}$

$\frac{2}{7}$

Correct answer:

$-\frac{1}{7}$

Explanation:

Since the denominators are the same, we can just subtract the numerators.

$\frac{2}{7}-\frac{3}{7}=\frac{-1}{7}$

Example Question #131 : Fractions

$\frac{5}{6}\div \frac{1}{12}=?$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{72}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Turn the second fraction upside down to find its reciprocal, and then multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to divide the two fractions. When multiplying fractions, you can multiply across, finding the products of the numbers being multiplied in the numerator and in the denominator.

$\frac{5}{6}\div \frac{1}{12}=\frac{5}{6}\times\frac{12}{1}=\frac{60}{6}=10$

Example Question #132 : Fractions

$\frac{4}{5}\div\frac{7}{8}=?$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{32}{35}$

$\frac{35}{32}$

$\frac{7}{20}$

$\frac{14}{27}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{32}{35}$

Explanation:

$\frac{4}{5}\div\frac{7}{8}=\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{8}{7}=\frac{32}{35}$

Example Question #3 : How To Divide Fractions

$\frac{7}{9}\div\frac{2}{3}=?$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{14}{27}$

$\frac{15}{27}$

$\frac{7}{6}$

$\frac{6}{7}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{7}{6}$

Explanation:

$\frac{7}{9}\div\frac{2}{3}=\frac{7}{9}\times\frac{3}{2}$

In this case, you can reduce the fractions being multiplied by cross-canceling before multiplying them together.

$\frac{7}{9}\times\frac{3}{2}=\frac{7}{3}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{6}$

Example Question #4 : How To Divide Fractions

$\frac{5}{7}\div\frac{1}{14}=?$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{10}$

$\frac{7}{60}$

$\frac{5}{98}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

$\frac{5}{7}\div\frac{1}{14}=\frac{5}{7}\times\frac{14}{1}$

In this case, you can reduce the fractions being multiplied by cross-canceling before multiplying them together.

$\frac{5}{7}\times\frac{14}{1}=\frac{5}{1}\times\frac{2}{1}=\frac{10}{1}=10$
